The Schubert's

Someday I will get to the last couple days of our Main trip. =]


My friends from Owatonna came up this past weekend for a little vacation. The first day here and we headed straight to the lake. It was a little cloudy that day so sorry for the dark pictures. I tried to use my flash, but it didn't work very well.

Jason and Jake wrestling over the Buzz Lightyear floaty.

Katlyn and Seth taking a little break.

Poor Jason was trying to tighten a screw on the floating dock and Ethan kept netting him.

Trying to jump off the floating thing.

Taking another break and eating the Carmel Chex Mix. This stuff is soooo yummy.

Ready to go snorkeling.

Katlyn and Jason relaxing.

Brenda, Ethan, Jason, Katlyn, Jakob, and Seth all decided to take a little tour on the paddle boat.

Once they got back Jason and Ethan headed over to the other side of the lake to do a little fishing.

Taking a little break on the beach.

Brenda cleaning Katlyn's feet of sand before she got her shoes on.

Ethan's turn.

Saturday we headed out to do a little tubing and tour the lake.

First up was Katlyn. We had Jake ride with.

Her face says it all.

At one point Jake had to stand up because her hair was whipping him in the face.

Next was Ethan.

Love the shades.

This picture is great.

After tubing we stopped at one of the islands and let the kids run around.

We also had a little picnic lunch at the island. Then we got attacked by horseflies so we headed over to a different island to explore and swim.

Loon.

Ethan decided to take a little nap after swimming.

After swimming we talked Jamie into driving around and looked for different wildlife.

Loon with it's baby. Man the babies are not cute.

Otter.

Crane.

Geese.

And of course a Bald Eagle.

The next day after Brenda and her family went home my neighbor came over and asked if my cousin had a good time. This made me laugh cause people use to ask us if we were sisters. I haven't had anyone think we were cousins. But I do believe they all had a good time.

Since Jamie's dad past away from Lung Cancer a few years back it has been a tradition to decorate luminaries and go to the park to find them. We always meet up with some of the family and walk around the park looking at all the bags.

This year one of Jamie's aunts made a couple signs and had them on her dog.
This side said: Celebrating our loved ones Who are Survivors - Darin Fox Samantha Shaw

And this side said: Remembering Our loved ones Who we have lost - Kenneth Fox, Gordy Hanson, Jim Shaw

The first bag I came to was from Corrina. It was very hard for me to look at.

It reads: If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever. James W. Shaw And next to the ultrasound it says This year you became "Grandpa" to your 6th grandson.

Here are some more of the bags we found for Jim.

This is Jakob's bag and it is him and Jim playing mini golf.

This is Seth's bag and it is him and Jim playing checkers.

After I took a picture of Corrina's bag for her dad I went to the other side to see what she wrote on there.

This is what I found. She made the other side for me. I was not ready for that and had to turn away from it for a second. The boys made bags for me, but I wasn't thinking anyone else would. Her bag read: We aquire the srength we have overcome ~Ralph Waldo Emerson To honor an amazing woman and sister-in-law Samantha Shaw.

This is Jakob's bag and it is me and him swimming.

Seth's bag and it is me and him on top of a mountain.

The back of Seth's bag made me laugh. He had just got done writing that he missed grandpa. So on mine he wrote I miss you Sam. Well Jamie made him cross off the miss and Sam and put in Love and mom.

The next day Cody came over to Cheryl's house and hung out with us for awhile. When he was heading out Jake asked if he could have a ride on his motorcyle. Well I of course said go ask your dad and I thought he would say no. But I was wrong. So the next thing I know Cody is putting his helmet on Jake. I was a wreck inside, but I'm glad the first ride was with Cody.

I think he liked it.

And since Jake got to ride Seth had a turn too.

He like it too.

Here's a quick pic of Taylor (Josh's dog) and Spike. He is already three months.
